(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm sure the majority of NGU is either too young or never really listened to grunge to remember Alice In Chains, or the tragic death of lead singer of the band Layne Staley. The bands former bass player has been recently found dead as well. Already accusations of overdose are flooding the internet, mainly coming from FAGGOT Dr. Drew. Mike Starr was on Celebrity Rehab for a season, which is why Dr. Drew is putting his faggot nose into this mess.

Here's an article from shitty MTV.com:

On Tuesday afternoon (March 8th), former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr was found dead in Salt Lake City, Utah. The founding member of the seminal Seattle band was 44 years old and had struggled with addiction his entire life. His passing sent shockwaves through the rock world, and his death has devastated friends, fans and his former bandmates. In recent years, Starr had become more famous for his stint on "Celebrity Rehab" than he ever was as a musician, but his legacy as a key member of Alice in Chains should not be understated.

The core sound of Alice in Chains was as much about Starr as it is about Jerry Cantrell's guitar sludgy guitar licks or late singer Layne Staley's wails from the crypt. The low end of the sonic spectrum was not as important to a lot of the other bands who came up during that era (Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament always seemed like he'd be more comfortable in a jam band, while Nirvana four-stringer Krist Novoselic mostly provided color for Kurt Cobain's guitar riffs, "Come As You Are" notwithstanding), but in order to nail Alice in Chains' particular brand of brutality, Starr's bass was key. The brutality on the low end was terrifying, and the punch of early Alice in Chains hits like "Man in the Box" would be impossible without Starr's muscular chops.

I'm sure those of you who were fans are pretty upset. I sure am. But at least there is the comforting thought that he may be somewhere with Layne now.

Rest in Peace, Mike Starr...

This ****ING sucks man, such a legendary group. Rest in peace, you shall be missed....
